The above needs two passes over the input data set. 
This will do it in one pass: 

//ICETOOL1 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL                                            
//....
//SORTIN   DD DSN=....
//OUTDD1   DD DSN=....
//OUTDD2   DD DSN=....
//TOOLIN    DD * 
  COPY   FROM(SORTIN) USING(SPLT)
/*             
//SPLTCNTL  DD *
  OUTFIL FNAMES=OUTDD1,ENDREC=250000
  OUTFIL FNAMES=OUTDD2,STARTREC=250001
